Expository writing may be less than creative but is incredibly important and useful. This assignment allows a little fun into the formulaic world of expository writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expository writing requires a conscious application of critical thinking skills with its step-by-step sequential process. Writing directions or explaining how something works clearly is what good expository writing is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learning to present facts clearly while developing the main idea is a traditional expository writing lesson. A way to reach into the heart of the matter for students who ask to write my essay<\/a> is to give them an assignment that surprises them with its clear message. The message (lesson<\/em>) is taught by using dramatic measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Identifying main ideas and supporting facts is an important first step for students. Once they are able to pick out the main idea and its supporting facts from a piece of writing, the next step for them is to begin developing their own main idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are four traditional ways to develop the main idea in an expository piece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students can work on applying different expository strategies by using these four steps to clearly develop a subject. For example, a student can give examples<\/em> when comparing two different sports (team sports versus one-on-one sports) while comparing and contrasting<\/em> them. The definition and explanation<\/em> of both sports will further define the idea, while cause and effect<\/em> can help the writer define each sport while explaining the effects of the sports on the people involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being able to clearly express an idea or topic by using these strategies will help students use detailed information in their writing in clear steps that will reach their objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While this assignment can be given as early as fourth grade, it works extremely well with middle and high school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give a simple assignment to the online learning<\/a> class without any extra explanation. For example, tell the students to write the directions for one of the following chores:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give the students enough time to write the directions. Do not warn them<\/em> about the importance of the clarity of each step. Simply give them the chance to write the directions at will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the students have finished their writing, break them into teams of two. Each writer will have a partner. Each team will have the chance to perform the steps outlined in the directions. One team member will read the directions while the second team member will perform them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After several readings, it will become clear to the class that as each “actor” is acting out exactly<\/em> what the directions say, it is obvious to all that expository writing must be exact and precise beyond what most students have been used to writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the group has had a chance to see how important each word in expository writing has become, the lesson becomes crystal clear. Each team will have a chance to show its writing and acting skills, mostly making the class laugh with the absurdity of the missing actions due to improper expository writing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allow the class another chance to write directions clearly and concisely, now that they understand how important each word, each line, and each direction has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About the author:<\/strong> Jared Watney is a professional writer on<\/em> <\/em><\/a>kingessays.com<\/em><\/a>.
